Why us?

At Thrive Childcare and Education, we put children first every time and our long-standing, experienced teams deliver every day with passion. As part of our mission to create a better world, we provide settings optimised for children to learn, explore and be happy. We help them to understand that the environment is there to be respected as well as to provide them with so many learning opportunities.

We have a unique approach to education with an emphasis on nature and the outdoors, so we provide as many natural areas as we can. Our forest schools for example are built around the children’s imaginations thus providing an environment where they can be themselves as well as learn to be expressive. We believe that children learn best through play.

Parent Feedback

My son has attended this nursery for 15 months now and loves it. The staff helped him to settle in and know and care for him really well. He has come on well with his speech and social skills so much since he started and has formed lovely friendships. My husband and I love receiving all of the little pieces of artwork that he makes as well as his daily diary entries. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents.

My little girl goes to Astley and she is in pre-school she is loving it in there as she has come on leaps and bounds since she has moved up. They do loads of lovely activities with the children. The gardens here are very big and all the children love going outside in the cars and the other toys when I pick up my little girl. All of the staff are all very friendly and are very happy to help you if you have a problem or have any questions. All of the management team are very happy to help you with any questions that you may have.

Andrea, E

I have experienced great things with the nursery since my son has started, since the New Year. My son’s keyworker has reassured me and been very informative with what he has been doing on a day to day basis. All the workers in his room have been really friendly and understanding. My son is very happy when he arrives at nursery and can see his development progressing. Keep up the great work Holyrood!

Our son has been attending Corner House nursery for 5 months now and I cannot praise the staff enough for creating such a loving, warm and welcoming environment for both him and me as a parent! Being a first time mum, I was nervous leaving my son in the care of others on a full time basis but I need not have worried. He loves going to nursery, smiling when I drop him off and smiles coming out and that is testament to the nurture and care they provide. It’s like his second home! The baby room team have showered him with so much care, attention and positivity I feel very grateful that I have found such a safe and happy environment for my son to thrive in. I can’t thank you all enough.
